* AuthorAvatar / SelfInsertFic: Averted. "Brendan" from chapter 1 is the male player character from RSE. Since May is the canon player character in the anime, Brendan takes the rival role just as he does in RSE, complete with a first-chapter battle with Max.
* CallBack: Max's Poochyena. Not only is it the same Poochyena from [=AG001=], but Max befriended a Poochyena (which later evolved) in an early Advanced episode.
